Ins and Outs of Pool Table Lighting

Just when you thought your pool table was all about fun and games… Turns out there’s a science to getting your lighting just right. Low enough to illuminate your game without inappropriate shadows but without the obvious pitfalls of broken noses.

The light should hang 80-90 cm above the table for a good combination of asthetics and functionality. See the diagram below regarding chain placement. Good quality pool table lights are heavy.
